farmers has the best patch of turnips in the

We are called upon to mourn the death of
Laura Richards, one of the pupils of Eburg' $
school. She was very intelligent girl, and
vacates place that eannotb easily replaced.
The cause of her death is supposed to have
been inflammation of the bowels. She was
buried at the NJ E. Church, Hampstead. with
appropriate ceremonies. The school, headed
by their teacher, Amos R. Frank, sang very
appropriate piece at the grave, and then dec
Grated the grave with flowers.
There is general dissatisfaction among the
patrons of Eburg school on account Of closing
or having a subscription school this winter.
The cry is three terms of school, or none Mt all.
Mr.. Grose, the miller, is very busy in his

The Cost Estimated.

Mr.. George c. Patterson, leading mem
Der of the Montgomery County bar. who was
a delegate to the Constitutional Convention
of 1851, thus disposes of the exaggerated es
Inmates ofthe expense. As put forth in various
newspapers it has been alleged that conven-
ton would cost 100000. Mr.. Patterson
says:
"This is absured, and too, right in the face
of the fact that the whole cost of all three of
the Constitutional Conventions which pre-
ceded it--lS5l, 1864 and lS67-all put to-
gether amounted to only 1867, l2l ,43-not
half as much as(according to the statements
put forth the single proposed convention will
cost And / say now that should such Con-
vention be held and it would simply restore
las it ought to do the Constitution of 1851
Invested, of course, of its several provisions
in regard to slavery-not only could the whole
thing be accomplish d in less than ten days,
but the same be perfectly satisfactory to the
people, and at cost, too, not exceeding, if
it reached, SIS, 1000, far less sum than would
be annually saved the people in the single
item of the Judiciary alone.n

The Anarchists Cases.

The decision of the United States Supreme
Court upon the petition for writ of error in
the case of the Chicago anarchists was an
nounced Wednesday afternoon by Chief JUS
tice Waite in long and carefully prepared
opinion, which occupied thir.y-five minutes
in the reading. The court unanimouly denied
the writ of error. The court holds, first, that
the first ten amendments to the constitution
are limitations upon federal and not upon
State action; second, that the jury law of
Illinois is upon its face valid and constitution
al, and that it is similar in its provisions to
the statute of Utah which was sustained in
this courtn the case of Hopt VS.. the Territory
of Utah; third, that it does not appear in the
record that upon the evidence the trial court
should have declared the juror Sanford incom-
petent; fourth, that the admission Of the
Johann Most letter and the cross-examination
of Spies, which counsel for the prisoners
maintained virtually compelled them to tesli-
fly against themselves, were not objected to in
the trial court, and that, therefore, no founda-
ton was laid for the exercise of the court s
jurisdiction; and. fifth, that the questions
raised by General Butler in the cases of Spies
and Fielden upon the basis of their foreign
nationality were neither raised nor decided in
the State courts, and therefore cannot be con-
sidered here.

peparture of DR.. Kuhns and Family.

Rev. H. w. Kuhns, D. D., and family bid
adieu to friends in Westminster this week, and
on Wednesday started for Omaha, Nebraska,
their future home. They left regretfully,
and regretted. Grace Church never had Il
more popular pastor than DR.. Kuhns. He is
an earnest Christian worker, an able preacher,
and pleasant and genial gentleman. During
his nine years ministry here the church has
hourished and prospered; disastrous fire
destroyed the church and parsonage, and both
have been rebuilt, the church being the
handsomest in the city.
Following is the letter Of the Council to
DR.. Kuhns, accepting his resignation:
WESTMINSTER, MD., Sept. II, 1887.
Rec H. w. Kuhns, D. d., Pastor Of Grace
Evangelical Lutheran Church, of Vest
minister, Maryland.
DEAR SIR:-The Council and Officers of
the above church, acting for the congrega-
ton thereof, in reply to your letter of August
29th, ult., rendering your resignation as
pastor to take effect on the 10Th of October,
ingly that the relations which have continued
between us so agreeably for the past nine
years should be sundered; nevertheless, as we
believe your offer has been made under
conscientious sense of duty, we feel constrain-
ed to accept it in the same friendly spirit
with which we know it was made.
At the same time we beg leave to assure
you of the high appreciation of your services
entertained by ourselves and the congrega-
ton we represent. Those services have been
rendered in an able, faithful, Jealous, unset
fish manner, and were always intended for the
good of the church and the salvation of souls.
Indeed, when we look back over the past nine
eventful years of our church, and survey its
present condition and prospects, we think it
would be impossible to estimate those services
as highly as they deserve.
For the losses you sustained with us in the
recent destruction of our Church and Parson-
age by fire, and for your untiring efforts
towards raising the means to rebuild the same
in an improved and more valuable form, you
cannot be repaid; but we trust God, in His
providence, will reward you therefor.
In whatever field of labor in Christ's
Church you may hereafter engage, be assured
you will ever have the prayers aad best wishes
of this congregation for the welfare and hap
piness of yourself and estimable family.
By order Jos. NJ. PARKE.
Secretary.

Senator Jackson.

Speaking of Senator jackson, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, and his rela-
tons with laboring men, the AdUertiser, pub
lished at his home at Salisbury, says;
jackson has accumulated some wealth,
it is true He was not born wealthy, as every
one in our community knows, but has made
his money in the management of legitimate
enterprises, and in so doing was compelled to
deal with men and employ them in large
numbers The firm have never had any Sc
rious trouble with their employees. This of
itself speakes volumes.
some of the principal reasons for this is
that their valuable men are given an interest
in some part of the business. There are to-
day men who went into their employ twelve
or fourteen years ago with almost nothing,
and are worth to- day fifty thousand dollars,
and still in their employ. Thisis the class of
men that we would select as the friend of the
lahoring man."

sesses in a marked degree that superior fac
ulty of common sense, and gains every day
in the estimation of the people; so much SO
that when his first four years are up the peo-
pie will say, You have done well with the
trusts placed in your hands. You have acted
wisely, and now you can take your seat for
four years more.

Death of E. Frank Tracy.

One of the saddest deaths that has occurred
for some time was that of Mr.. K. Frank Tracy,
of this city, who died at Gettysburg, Pa, on
October 2Sth-Friday of last week. On the
Saturday previous to his death, he and his
wife went to Gettysburg, on visit. In day
or two after Mr.. Tracy was taken i'll with
pertonitis, and in less than u week he passed
away.
His illness was scarcely known before his
death was announced, and no announcement
has so shocked the community for some years.
Mr.. Tracy had but recently married, and
great sympathy was expressed for his young
bride. Mr.. Tracy himself was young law
yer just building up practice, and beginning
a career of usefulness as a lawyer, citizen
and u christian. Unobtrusive in his manner,
and transformations, upright in his daily walks,
he was universally esteemed. The fact that
he was but recently married; that he had
Just fairly begun professional life, and his
rather sudden death, all tended to excite deep
sympathy.
Mr.. Tracy was the son of the late Ephraim
Tracy, of Manchester district, and had just
entered his 3lst year. He was educated at
Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg, and
graduated in the class Of 1881. Shortly after
he began the study of law with Hon. Charles
